[QUOTE="DragonflyWink, post: 406699, member: 111"]If the OP wishes to use his piece as a shot glass, then he should, but by its shape and apparent size, the original purpose would have almost certainly been as an egg cup (I've used an old crumber to serve enchiladas, but it's still a crumber). Unless Asian Fever has exceptionally long fingers, her pieces are an appropriate size and shape for shot or liqueur glasses - though both Wang Hing, would be surprised if the pocket flask and stemmed glasses were originally sold as a set. The three shot or liqueur glasses in the foreground of the pic below range from 2⅜" to 3⅜" tall, their diameters at the rim are 3.1 - 3.3 cm (around 1¼"), one with a 2 cl (2/3 oz.) capacity, the other two holding 3 cl (1 oz.).
